HN constantly attacks Tesla and Elon so you shouldn't be surprised. In fact, I've associated negative attacks from HN as an indicator that the company/person being attacked is probably doing something good.

HN is divided on divisive issues. It's that simple.

People overgeneralize about that because of cognitive bias: the bad (what you don't like) stands out more than the good (what you agree with). What's negative (to you) is what you're more likely to notice: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... That's why people with the opposite tastes make the opposite generalizations.

For every comment like yours ("constantly attacks Tesla and Elon") there's one of these: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26506294 ("Musk fanboys and Tesla apologists").

We're not allowed to criticize HN? I'm not sure which rules I was breaking? I simply gave my opinion on a pattern I've noticed on HN. You're censoring me because you disagree?
It's fascinating to me how much crabs-in-the-bucket syndrome this place has acquired over the past few years. It's hard to think of successful people HN doesn't hate.
I am not that quick on hating successful people. There are more of us on HN. I find it interesting to read the other side.
